How to "ControlSend" like pasting

[mamut]

Is it possible to use function ControlSend with NOT TYPING?

Explain:

$string="Some text"
$window=WinGetHandle("[active]")
ControlSend($window, "", "", $string)

and now function ControlSend doing something like:

1. send "Shit+S" to $window

2. send "o" to $window

3. send "m" to $window

4. send "e" to $window

etc...

now i want do to do something like this:

1. send "Some text" to $window (NOT TYPING JUST PASTE)

PS: Im using ControlSend because it's working even if windows is minimized so keep this in mind and I want solve my problem with ControlSend fucntion because if my PC is busy (CPU) then i have to increase Opt("SendKeyDelay", 500) and now if string is long i have to wait for soooo long.

Thanks in advance

Use controlsend not on windows but on controls. Obtain control id with au3info in Scite.

Assume you have an Edit control in the window, something like this might work:

ControlSend(WinGetHandle("[active]"), "", "[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1]", "This is some text")

Maybe?

ClipPut()

ControlSend($window,"","","^V")

[KaFu]

Maybe?

ClipPut()

ControlSend($window,"","","^V")

didn't thought that would work, but it does. If the receiving window 'knows' what to do with ^v this is fine, but if you want to paste to a certain control you'll have to obtain the id.

ControlSetText() if it's just text you're sending. It's much faster.

Hope this example helps you:

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("Notepad")
WinActivate("Notepad")
DefControlSend("Notepad","","Edit1","This is a test.")

Func DefControlSend($TITLE,$TEXT,$CONTROL,$STRING)
    ClipPut($STRING)
    ControlFocus($TITLE,$TEXT,$CONTROL)
    Send("^v")
EndFunc

Nice to know

Doesn't work, it sets window title, not pasting/sendig to window

To send the text, you need to send it to the control. You have it blank, of course it's not going to send to anything.

Using ControlSend() more than likely sends to the first edit control, or makes sure it's focused if you're not already focusing on it.

If it's too slow for you, and Send()/ControlSend() is the only thing working, then you may want to add in the Opt SendKeyDelay to 1 or 0.

If it's sending erroneous data, then try using the last parameter of ControlSend() and put 1 there for raw mode.

sorry, may i ask, what if i already do that, using controlsend() with parameter 1, but there are still some error, like suddenly the text that i send become uppercase or like i press shift+character i wan to type.

for example, i want send "zero123" with ControlSend($window, "", "", "zero123",1) not somehow it become "zero!@#".

can somebody give some solution for this error, please?
